Gag The Interent.

When it comes to the First Amendment, Team Obama believes in Global Chilling.

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law professor who has been appointed to a shadowy post that will grant him powers that are merely mind-boggling, explicitly
supports using the courts to impose a "chilling effect" on speech that might hurt someone's feelings. He thinks that the bloggers have been
rampaging out of control and that new laws need to be written to corral them.

Advance copies of Sunstein's new book, "On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done," have gone out to reviewers ahead
of its September publication date, but considering the prominence with which Sunstein is about to be endowed, his worrying views are fair game now.
Sunstein is President Obama's choice to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. It's the bland titles that should scare
you the most.

Sunstein was appointed, no doubt, off the success of "Nudge," his previous book, which suggests that government ought to gently force people to
be better human beings.

Czar is too mild a world for what Sunstein is about to become. How about "regulator in chief"? How about "lawgiver"? He is Obama's Obama.

Mr. Sunstein has testified before congressional committees on many subjects, and he has been involved in constitution-making and law reform
activities in a number of nations, including Ukraine, Poland, China, South Africa, and Russia.

Mr. Sunstein is author of many articles and a number of books, including Republic.com (2001), Risk and Reason (2002), Why Societies Need Dissent
(2003), The Second Bill of Rights (2004), Laws of Fear: Beyond the Precautionary Principle (2005), Worst-Case Scenarios (2001), and Nudge: Improving
Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler, 2008). He is now working on various projects involving the relationship between
law and human behavior.

shows that demands for lock-step conformity are wrong and uninformed thinking. Sunstein's important new study is filled with empirical evidence of
the significance of opposition, found in his compelling explanations of the need for, and benefits of, disagreement. Sunstein reveals that, in fact,
the influence of dissenters is for the better, be it with courts, juries, corporate boardrooms, churches, sports teams, student organizations or
faculties, not to mention 'the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court...during times of both war and peace.' --John W. Dean (Los Angeles Times
Book Review )

Ironically he is married to Samantha Power who resigned over the monster, hillary remark.

Ayn Rand said: "the principle of free speech is not concerned with the content of a man's speech and does not protect only the expression of good
ideas, but all ideas. If it were otherwise, who would determine which ideas are good and where forbidden? The government?"

"Political Vacuums of Our Age",
"Once a country accepts censorship of the press and of speech, then nothing can be won without violence. Therefore, so long as you have free speech,
protect it. This is the life-and-death issue in this country: do not give up the freedom of the press - of newspapers, books, magazines, radios
movies, and other other form of presenting ideas. So long as that's free, a peaceful intellectual turn is possible."

I'm going to really put myself out on a brittle limb here, over the boiling cauldron of in-over-your-head trouble, with the Political Correctness SS
Ghestapo, I'm afraid. The thing about real life is that there are facts that we don't want. I want to jump off a skyscraper and fly, but
--gravity-- says NO. Crap. There are many left-leaning people out there with their heads in the clouds and their feet off the ground, who like to
conclude that everyone on this planet is the same, there are no evolutionary genetic differences, and that no one is born evil, it's just that they
need a great big hug. It really chaps my behind, by the way, that those very ones who protest outside a prison weaping for a serial killer's
execution, who would chainsaw them in his basement if given a chance, were giving thumbs down to Terry Schaivo< probably misspelled) for her to be
executed slowly via dehydration, rather than let her own family take her home and dote over her.
Anyhoo, I see utterly nothing wrong with aknowledging hardwired and obvious human differences, WITHOUT it being regarded as prejudice. I look at all
the different cat and dog species, and how respected the differences are.
I HATE political correctness and fear it too, because it seeks to punish those who say, "look at this common sense and these facts and statistics
here". George Orwell's book '1984' tried to warn about this. Oh well. TRIED.
